Abstract

In the context of operator product expansion (OPE) and using the large-β0 approximation, we propose a method to define Wilson coefficients free from uncertainties due to IR renormalons. We first introduce a general observable X(Q2) with an explicit IR cutoff, and then we extract a genuine UV contribution XUV as a cutoff-independent part. XUV includes power corrections ∼(ΛQCD2/Q2)n which are independent of renormalons. Using the integration-by-regions method, we observe that XUV coincides with the leading Wilson coefficient in OPE and also clarify that the power corrections originate from UV region. We examine scheme dependence of XUV and single out a specific scheme favorable in terms of analytical properties. Our method would be optimal with respect to systematicity, analyticity and stability. We test our formulation with the examples of the Adler function, QCD force between QQ, and R-ratio in e+e- collision.
